Bordeaux exclusively. I can not give the exact date of each 

 spraying. The first one was made earfy in May, before any leaves 

 started. The next one came just as the buds began to show a little 

 red color. The third one was made after the blossoms had fallen 

 and fruit set. Part of the orchard was sprayed the fourth time, the 

 very last of June, and I could see a marked difference in favor of 

 four sprajangs. 



The general result has been everything I conld ask. 1 sold apples 

 for $2.12|- and our neighbors could get only $1.50 to $1.75. 



G. H. Bradley & Son, Lake Road, Niagara Co. 



Our Duchess of Oldenburg orchard is 17 years old and has 375 

 trees which produced this year 900 barrels firsts and windfalls, 

 which netted us $2,100. We sprayed three times with Paris green. 

 The orchard has been cultivated and fertilized with stable manure 

 heavily for the last four or five years. There were almost no 

 No. 2 apples. We picked 200 barrels at one picking and had only 

 3 barrels of No. 2. 



Our Twenty Ounce orchard yielded at the rate of $400 per 

 acre, treatment same as Duchess, except that it was sprayed seven 

 times with Paris green and Bordeaux mixture. Baldwins and 

 Kings yielded at the rate of $150 per acre, and the quality was 

 No. 1. They were also sprayed and manured. 



Duchess sold for $2.75 per barrel. 



Twenty Ounce sold for $2.35 per barrel. 



Baldwins and Kings sold for $2.00 per barrel.
